Most of us have had a friend, philosopher, and a guide help us thorough troubled times with correct and precise advice. Usually the friend philosopher and guide is actually one person we usually refer to as our mentor. So what happens when there is no mentor to help? Perhaps we would have struggled on our own but now we can go online and look for one at mentorpolis.com. Avijit Sharma the Young Entrepreneur responsible for this explains “The idea is to establish a new communication channel which connects mentees who seek academic and professional advice, with accomplished and suitable mentors, via one-to-one interaction. Telephonic consultation and web seminars are the initial modes of communication between mentees and mentors.”

He labels those seeking the guidance of a Mentor with a term of his coining, he says “Mentees are high school students, undergraduates, young professionals, whereas mentors are senior students and professionals who have ‘been in mentee shoes’, have ‘made it’, thus precisely understand mentee problems and their solutions and want to share their wisdom in a nurturing way.”

“To begin with we have started with six major verticals namely-

Engineering India

Engineering Abroad

MBA India

MBA Abroad

Entrepreneurship

Job Preparation”

The mentoring is not just for students looking for advice but also professionals. Avijit says “The scope encompasses the entire lot of students such as 11-12 students, undergrads, post grads and professionals seeking advice on the important decision points of their careers.”
